Part by part
Canopy and plenum
The plenum is out of sight behind the filters, so it’s easy to forget. We take the filters out and clean the plenum and housing thoroughly.
Extract fan and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to cut noise, and they hold grease. We clean what can be reached and note anything that cannot.
Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Hassell Street
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. For a kitchen in Hassell Street, our certificate and photo report give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. Typical jobs include heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs and poor airflow at the canopy, across canopies and hoods, extract fans and horizontal duct runs. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Hassell Street, you get one team and one number for every site, wherever you are in Kent.
BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
In a small place like Hassell Street, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Hassell Street: your questions answered
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Hassell Street?
Fire safety enforcement in Hassell Street is handled by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Which council inspects kitchens in Hassell Street?
The local authority for Hassell Street is Ashford council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
You get both a certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log so they’re to hand when an insurer asks.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
Allow one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
A TR19 Grease clean covers the full extract route, not just the canopy. Canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers, fan and discharge are all included, reached through access panels where necessary.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- An undersized canopy or fan
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What the work covers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Plenums and filters
- Discharge points
- Vertical risers
- Canopies and hoods
- Extract fans
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Hassell Street
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The size of the system
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How easy every part is to reach
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The postcode and the type of business
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Leave it or put it right?
There’s no law that names TR19, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 still applies. The responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping extract grease under control. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Hassell Street: the local picture
It’s Ashford council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Hassell Street. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Hassell Street is about 52 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as William Harvey Hospital (about 4.2 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. School kitchens, at schools like Wye School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Hassell Street is about 6 miles north-east of Ashford, in Kent. Every kind of commercial site in Hassell Street, we can take on kitchen extract cleaning. We can work out of hours so trading isn’t interrupted. Hassell Street is one of 922 places in Kent where we work for kitchen extract cleaning.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Hassell Street
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Visits to a village like Hassell Street are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We survey the system first, from your photos and details or on a site visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
